Beaches in Puerto Rico

While I was in Puerto Rico, I visited two beaches: Condado and Isla Verda. Both beaches are easily accessible from Old San Juan and offer great amenities around them. The first of the two that I visited was Isla Verda.

It was by far my favorite beach of the two. The waves were just right. The sand was silky and smooth and the water was that perfect blue/green that you could see thru. It's close to restaurants, hotels, bathrooms! They also had a guy on the beach who was taking coconuts and cutting them open right there for coconut water.

I sported my vintage bathing suit.... pardon the fattiness.

 

The second beach that we visited was Condado. This beach was closer to Old San Juan and a little more crowded.

I am a self proclaimed beach lover but out of the two I have to say that I liked Isla Verda more than Condado. I will say that Condado had a great beach bar/restaurant right on the sand that we loved. They had great food and the hotel seemed nice from what we saw. It was the Atlantic Beach Resort at Condado.
